Unit
Name yoctoohm
Category Electrical Resistance
Details A yoctoohm (yΩ) is an incredibly small unit of electrical resistance. It is derived from the metric system prefix "yocto," which denotes a factor of 10⁻²⁴. In other words, 1 yoctoohm is equal to 1 x 10⁻²⁴ ohms. The ohm (Ω) is the standard unit of measurement for electrical resistance, and it quantifies a material's opposition to the flow of electrical current.

Though it is a valid unit, the yoctoohm is an exceptionally small measurement, and it's not commonly used in practical applications. Due to its extremely low value, yoctoohm is generally encountered only in theoretical contexts, where it can serve to describe electrical resistance at a nearly negligible level.
